Top Ten Things I’m Thankful For

I usually don’t participate of Top Ten Tuesday, but I couldn’t pass on today’s topic.

Top TenSeven Things I’m Thankful For

 

– I’m thankful for my husband and my daughter. Without them, my life wouldn’t have any meaning.

– I’m thankful for the rest of my family. Even though I’m away from most of my family, I still think they are the most important thing in my life. That they are my foundation.

– I’m thankful for my friends. Real life friends, long-time-no-see friends, online friends, writer friends, crazy friends.

– I’m thankful for being so fortunate. I have a home, I have a car, I have food on my plate, I have clothes to put on … in Brazil, there are a lot of homeless people or very poor people who live in shacks along the roads, especially in big cities and to see them like that always twists my stomach. I might complaint a lot about my day, about certain shitty things that happens here and then, but I know it could be so much worse, so so so much worse. I’m so, so thankful for my life and the way it is.

– I’m thankful for my health. That’s all that matters, right? I’m healthy enough to fight for what I want, to go after my dreams.

– I’m thankful for being able to do what I love – WRITING!

– I’m thankful for books and everything about them – book bloggers, readers, authors, editors, agents, and everything in the publishing industry.

 

Oh, since I probably won’t blog again this week: HAPPY THANKSGIVING!  

Cheers,

A Day in the Life: ME!

Miss Dawn Pendleton came up with a cool Q&A for authors. She posts them once a week on her blog and I’m taking part on it. I’ll be posting the Q&A here every Saturday.

Today is MY turn!

About me: While Juliana Haygert dreams of being Wonder Woman, Buffy, or a blood elf shadow priest, she settles for the less exciting—but equally gratifying—life of a wife, mother, and author. Thousands of miles away from her former home in Brazil, she now resides in Connecticut and spends her days writing about kick-ass heroines and the heroes who drive them crazy.

Tiny little break …

Hey guys …

I just wanted to tell you all that I might not be online much for a couple of days. I’ll pop on twitter here and there, but I won’t blog (other than cover reveals and guest posts that are sent to me ready), and I’ll probably barely update my facebook page.

I want to apologize to the ladies organizing the Ready.Set.Write! challenge … I was looking forward to it, but I can’t participate of it anymore. I’m so sorry!

Anyway … take care, everyone!

Cheers,

Updates …

Hey guys! Long time no see…

Well, I moved to a new home last week and I don’t have internet there … Comcast came to our house the day of the closing, but they said that because our house is too deep into the lot, they need to bring the construction team in to install an amplifier or something like that … so, I’m waiting. A week has gone by and I have no idea when I’ll have internet at home again.

For that, I’ve been missing my ROW80 check-ins … not that there’s anything to report since I’ve been only working on the house lately, but still …

On happy note, the cover reveal of Breaking the Reins is close! Next Thursday, you’ll see my pretty cover! Want to help me spread the word? You can sign up to post it on your own blog: http://www.xpressobooktours.com/2013/04/cover-reveal-sign-up-breaking-reins-by.html Oh, I sent a teaser (with picture) along with the cover, so that should be fun ;)

Oh, Destiny Gift is up for voting on the New Adult Book Club on goodreads, as their next non-contemporary read. You can help me out and vote for my book here: http://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/82651-what-do-you-want-do-want-to-be-our-non-contemporary-group-read-for-may

Anyway … I’m around, trying to keep up with all things on my phone, but I’ve been more quiet than normal. Hopefully, I’ll have internet back soon.

Cheers,

Meeting other writers!

So, I had my first get together with other writers last Saturday, from 10am to 5:30 pm.

Here’s us:

Cristina, Ghenet, Virginia and me!
(at 5-9 and heels, how did I expect not to look like a giant?!)

 

It was great. We talked about our projects and agents and expectations … And we wrote too! I got 4,000 words down! I felt awesome about those words cause I almost never write on Saturdays …

We’re already talking about meeting again, about doing this a monthly thing. I’m all for it!

Can’t wait to see how much progress we make together!

 

Cheers,
